Artemis Business Development Manager Matthew Davies matthew Artemis Business Development Manager Matthew Davies matthew.davies@stoke.gov.uk 01782 236 185 To make an analogy, you can think of the approach we used to developing courses like building a house where you start with the plans/blueprint Foundation Frame walls Plumbing & electrical Finish the interior design and fixtures The BSP was a bit like the home owner saying I can see the foundation and wall frames going up nicely, but can you now complete 2 of the rooms and paint them and throw in a couch and a rug. So naturally our reaction was hmmmmm, not sure if that’s such a good idea, but we went along with it, and it has proven to be valuable b/c: Motivated the team Uncovered some issues that we can deal with more easily now than later And of course its something that we can show to a wider audience, like today, to provide a sense of what the final course will be like

Any questions? Thank you for attending this session!
